Provenance:
- "The Ledger listing in handwriting persons registered at the Polish consulate in Shanghai, 1934-1941, on the basis of documents issued by Polish authorities was acquired during a 1992 visit to the Polish Consulate General in Shanghai by four scholars studying the Jewish presence in Shanghai during the twentieth century. The Polish Consul General had discovered the 200 page tome in a trunk in the Consulate basement. Responding to the strong interest in the Ledger for use by scholars, the Consul General requested and received permission to have it copied, which was done at the Shanghai Municipal Library. At present three copies of the Ledger are known to exist in the United States: at the Library of Congress, the U.S. Holocaust Museum, and the Hoover Institute, Stanford University. The Library of Congress copy, donated by Dr. Marcia Ristaino, may be viewed in the European Reading Room."

Abstract:
- Name index to a register of the approx. 1,500 Polish citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish, who registered themselves with the Polish Consulate in Shanghai during the period January 19, 1934 through December 13, 1941. Entries include only name and register entry number.
- "In addition to personal names, the register provides the following categories of information: date of registration; profession; religion; place and date of birth; marital status; permanent address in Poland and address of next of kin [rarely provided]; place of residence in the consular district; documents on the basis of which the person is registered [generally, passport]; names and year and place of birth of wife and children; passport expiration date; comments [e.g., "emigrated to America," "returned to Poland," "died"]. Roughly 60% of the registrants are identified as Jewish, 34% as Roman Catholic, 3% as Orthodox, and 2% as Protestant. Name strike-throughs are present in the original."
